Firstly, you should know I am writing this review from good experience. I have had various headphones from various manufacturers. I had some Corsair H1500i's, and I loved their sound to weight balance. After those, I have had Roccat Kaves, Roccat Kave mk2's, Logitech G430's, and Hyper X Clouds. None of them matched up to the H1500i's. I have now found a replacement for them in these HS50 Pro's. The HS50's are a little heavier, but the bass reproduction is excellent. They are never uncomfortable or unwieldy. The ear cups are exactly as described on the box; plush. No other word for them. Lots of give and not sweaty. The cups themselves are deep and quite large which is great for one who was blessed with large ears that stick out.My ears don't get sore or squashed. The headband cushion is very nice too, and the band feels strong with plenty of adjustment. All of the headphones I have had so far have had an in line control of some sort for the volume or mic muting etc. The HS50's are on the left ear cup, and I am still getting used to them but it feels like a better place to put them already. The included mic is definitely an acceptable quality. I spoke to friends in Discord and they all said it was very clear but like all headphone mics it lacked bass. I have a deep voice, but I also have a Blue Yeti so I just use that. However, if you will be using the mic I can tell you that with the HS50 Pro's I got a mic sponge to cover the mic, and a splitter cable was included to split the cable in to separate mic and headphone cables to connect to your pc. This will save you an extra few currencies on a 3rd party spliiter cable like I had to buy when I bought Hyper X Clouds. As for the sound on these HS50's, they're really good. Very strong across a multitude of frequencies. If you're gaming, like I do in games like Warzone, GTA Online, Detroit: Become Human, DOOM, Wreckfest and Forza 7, then you can expect these headphones to keep up with no loss of detail in the sound. This is without any software to download, plug n play. Warzone gets very hectic at times, yet they never let me down with footsteps or doors opening. I recommend the 'Boost' setting in the audio mix options in Warzone. This will boost all frequencies and you will never miss a footstep again. Someone should tell Dr. Disrespect to swap his Turtle Beach's for some HS50's because he would never complain about audio ever again. If you will be listening to music with these headphones I am happy to report largely the same outcome. I am an eclectic, so my library consists of various different types of music to test them out with. The headphones are stunning. It does vary depending on the quality of the source you're listening to, of course, but they blew me away. I have yet to connect them to my Denon amplifier, but if the results of everything I tested so far are anything to go by, then they can only sound even better when connected to a "cleaner" source with music on disk at a higher bitrate. I am extremely happy with the HS50 Pro's. They are lovely to look at, lovely to wear, and they sound lovely too. Well worth the price and I recommend them.

The headset is Jet black with the only colour change being on the Corsair logo on each earcup and the metal sliver headband adjustment. There are no lights on this headset so it won't stand out.These are a full earcup design with decent isolation. The earcups have very little rotation through which means you can’t fold them flat when wearing them around your neck or for travelling to LAN parties. This rotation limitation also restricts the amount you can adjust these to fit your ears. It would have been nice to have more adjustment here.The headband is covered in a black mesh has plenty of size increase/decrease adjustment, and it has a decent amount of padded,

I bought this headset after seeing a bunch of glowing reviews on the web, and knowing Corsair are a decent branch since I already have a keyboard and old headset of theirs. After ordering I check on here and see a bunch of 1-3* reviews, uncomfortable, build quality, crap software... Was worried.I can say after a few hours of constant use that I am so far impressed and don't get the hate this product is getting.It's been on my head for a few hours and it's more comfortable than any headset I've tried previously. I have larger-than-normal ears and it isn't crushing them like others tend to. Fits over the top of a HTC Vive as well, and seems secure on my head so shouldn't fall off.The sound quality is good.

I bought these from Currys. I wanted steel series, thought they looked better, but their recharging cable cannot be replaced if broken.These are comfy enough for me. Even if I'm using all day to prepare YouTube videos.The battery lasted about 16 hours yesterday. Thats after they automatically turn off after no activity, which you can set a timer for.They feel sturdy enough. If you're the type of person who doesn't look after your equipment then that's your problem.They are quite loud, and probably noisy to anyone next to you who wants some peace. They are good for music but sometimes I had to turn the volume down for the sound to be less distorted, especially when listening to funeral doom bands like Evoken.Bass is there.

I bought this to use when working from home so as to not be tied to my desk for long hours. It has allowed me to get way more steps by pacing round the lounge or garden and relief from sitting down for long periods.I think the manual volume control is a bit weak - I think that should be digital to control the PC, as should he mute IMO - I am not a gamer (children put an end to that a long time ago), so that may not be what gaming requires, but I often end up being told I am on mute as Teams/Slack are on mute and the headset isn't or vice versa. The audio prompt in the ear is reasonably clear when it does go on and off mute, but again I would like some visual feedback - I find myself pressing it a couple of times to confirm when I am on and off mute.Finally,

The headset came very nicely packaged, It was secure and tight in the box.On the headset itself, the ear cushions are made from a soft and padded sponge with a fabric cover, They are very comfortable but I feel they slightly rub with micro-movements over time. I prefer felt or a smooth leather instead as they don't rub as much.The headset size is adjustable so don't worry if you have a large or smaller head then normal as it will fit. The headset is made from sturdy, smooth metal, It's both light but feels tough, the build quality is excellent. The headset also supports a volume control slider on the side as well as a microphone mute button which makes it easier to completely mute the microphone

First off I would like to say these look great in my opinion.I thought that they may be too big for my head as a have a smaller head but they fitted great with a little fiddling with the headband length but are large enough I think for big heads also if you extend the headband. I also wear glasses and find they are quite comfortable with glasses. The cups go ALL the way around my ears and are very soft and comfortable.Like the detachable Mic. Not AMAZING Mic or anything but will get the job done and you have to take into consideration that these are wireless so Mic isn't going to be the best.Very easy to setup. Just put the usb into the PC and my PC recognised it in about a minute of waiting.Battery life DEFINITELY ISN'T 16 hours.

This headset works very well, and does what it sets out to do. It's a budget gaming headset, and, for the money, is pretty good value.It's not aimed at hi-fi audio listeners, and if your primary interest is in audio fidelity, you'd be better off looking elsewhere. However, the sound quality is good for a headset in this price range. The microphone is pretty good too, and it can be detached, which isn't always the case in this price range. It's comfortable to wear, even for several hours, and that's important for this kind of product. A big plus is that the volume control is located on the left earpiece - headsets can often leave you searching for a switch in middle of the cable,

This Corsair HS35 Stereo Gaming Headset is aimed at the more serious gamer. And the best thing is it can be used across all the latest know consoles and PC/laptops. Some of the platforms will require a 3.5 mm adaptor (not included in the pack).The sound quality is noticeably better over my conventional gaming headset, you are immersed in the game. The over-ear headsets are very comfortable, with plush memory foam and adjustable earcups. After hours of playing, your head and ears are as fresh as your first put the headsets on.The mic piece is removable and when is use it is very useful when playing multi-user games. I don't notice a difference from my conventional headset.I have noticed the quality with this headset,

I really, really like this headset.Build quality is super good and it looks really good! A subtle looking headset as opposed to looking like a scouter from Dragon Ball Z. Not that I wouldn't mind having one like that.Good Points:Build quality is top notchAdjustable sliders on both sides are great and lock into place wellEar cups are super soft and make a good seal around your ear without touching it, also have good angles of swivle to fit onto any head shapeEncountered zero wireless connectivity issues and next to no latencyMic is decent too, wish the arm was just slightly stiffer but having said that, it does hold position with no problem (no quality complaints from other players)Sound quality is super fine,

I wanted a wireless headset to use for work as well as gaming. At work I take a lot of calls and it's nice to be able to get up and walk around while on the line.SoundSound quality is good, especially in gaming where the directional sound is pretty powerful. Not high end fidelity, but punchy enough to have the entertainment factor. Can hear those guys sneaking up on you.Signal & BatterySignal strength is good, I can go to my kitchen in the next room and still get a strong signal. Low latency - didn't notice any latency problems in fast paced games. I get about 10 hours battery as advertised.MicLowpoint is probably the mic. Quite tinny and not nearly as clear as my work issued £30 sennheiser voice set.

I would like to start with the packaging of the product or cane in a nice sturdy box which was very easily opened and extracted.The instruction of the headphones where very easily to follow even for anyone who hasn’t the slightest idea about headphones.The headphones it’s self is comfortable on the ears with padded sides with padding on the top bridge of the headphones to prevent any dull pain from wearing them over long periods of time.The sound quality is amazing! The sounds are crisp and clear and the adjustable sound wheel on the headphones make it very easy to change the volume.The software also has customisable sound options for gaming and presets for bass and jazz etc.The mic quality is very clear and won’t pick up to much background noise.

I find wearing headphones uncomfortable at times and get itchy ears. However sometimes they are required because not everyone wants to hear you working on special ops and missions and taking care of business. Packaged well, headphones were secured with a clip. Microphone is detachable but can easily be inserted into headphones when needed. I liked the cover over where the microphone would be as it will avoid dust and debris, it has a small rubberlike plug which is pulled out and can be inserted in again when finished. You can control the volume by a turn wheel on headphones as well as pushing on/off to mute conversation. First impressions of headphones are they look sleek, stylish and feel very lightweight.

Fantastic looking headset, one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen.The sound quality is great, but it’s enhanced massively if you use with Corsair icue, personally I don’t use these without icue running as the difference is night and day.The mic is super sensitive, however you have full control of this on icue including feedback, also the fact the mic is flexible and removable is a great addition.They also have the bonus of still being able to use them while being charged so if your like me and forget to charge them you can still use them.All in all they are a really great headset for the money (£69 when I bought them)There are a couple of downsides to these which some may find a little annoying.Firstly is the Corsair icue software,

Coming from an older wired Corsair headset that's been falling apart after 4 years I wanted something wireless.This thing is litulary plug and play on PC, slap the wifi dongle in and turn the headset on and 10 seconds later it was ready to go.Build quality is outstanding for the price solid as hell and it's quite a stylish non gamering looking plastic lump, with many metal parts it feels super solid.Came with 40% battery out the box and had a 4 hour session and it still had 10% or so left when I was done ( I set system volume to 100% and take it down on the headset from there )The sound sounds a little muffled out the box but could be tweaked to my preference ( I listen to a lot of Black Metal /
